Hi Sara,
Your interests are very cool and I see that you are into jazz and the guitar. Some of my favorite guitarists are Wes Montgomery, Monnette Sudler, Pat Metheny, Jonathan Butler, Jeff Beck, Larry Carlton, Deirdre Cartwright, Larry Coryell,…
Hi Sara,
Glad to know that you are interested in Indian Classical. I'll send you some good stuff later meanwhile you can listen to Pandit Ravi Shanker concerts.
And about the dog, it was just a stray dog I found at Manali, an Indian hill…
Hi Ishita!
Thanks for reaching out, so nice to kinda meet you!
I'm excited to hear your stuff. I know you said you want to learn more about rock -- i want to learn more about classical indian music! And who is that beautiful sleeping dog in…
Cool Nico! I was not aware of all the free music today...
It's my birthday! I plan on taking a bike ride, eating watermelon, and seeing my mom.... At least to start.
Hope everyone has a beautiful day!!!
Hey Sara,
I'm not sure about that feeling you are talking about. It's not very clear, can you elaborate? I'm interested in Meisner, but I'm far from an expert (I've never done it), but by coincedence (?) I happen to enlist…
Yeah! I want to visit the Netherlands too! I feel like it must be very clear there...
Anyway, thank you for that connection. I've since checked out Leese's website. Definately would love to check it out more. It's been a good year…
Music; Zydeco-rock to jazz standards to james brown to composing to making up silly pop songs. I sing and play guitar (graduated with a BA in Jazz guitar performance). And I teach these things on multiple levels.
I like working with charcoal these days.
I love dancing, and have studied some traditional African, flamenco and modern, but not extensively.
It terms of performance, it all started wth a love for theater. 3rd grade, My mom put me in acting class, and i got over my shyness... thanks Mom!
Places I Would Like To Visit
Thailand, West Africa, and just about everywhere else.
Art Forms And Cultures I Would Like To Engage With
Not sure yet.. always thinking of more. But something having to do with the entire space it takes place in -- setting an ambiance from lighting to food to music to movement.
Really don't know yet, but fun to talk about ideas!
My Creative Influences & Favorite Artists
David Byrne, John Cage, Merce Cunnigham, Alvin Ailey, Ray Charles, Alan Watts

Actually I love the flora and fauna hence, also love to click them.
I'm not sure about that feeling you are talking about. It's not very clear, can you elaborate? I'm interested in Meisner, but I'm far from an expert (I've never done it), but by coincedence (?) I happen to enlist myself for a Meisner workshop this summer today :)
I've been doing theatre improv from 3 years old (so I was told). I couldn't even really speak at the time, but I improvised a speech for the 40th wedding anniversery of my grandparents. Since 6 years it has been my occupation.
I think you'll have to be careful with the smoke in Amsterdam at times. But some of it can clear up the world (especially if your body needs it) ;)
I'll be happy to play host for you and your husband one day :)
Too bad that the Netherlands and NY are so far apart! But maybe one of us will visit the other one day. I would like to come to NY anyway :)
You should check Leese Walker (Nico Daswani knows her). She's a NY based theatre creator who works a lot with impro music, so if you think theatre has interesting processes, it might be something for you!
I think your music really "works" because some instruments stay the same. This gives me the feeling of a rite or mantra. I can go into the music if you know what I mean. Exciting!
